Homotopy - Homotopy Lifting Property

Homotopy Lifting Property

If we have a homotopy H : X × → Y and a cover p : YY and we are given a map h0 : XY such that H0 = ph0 (h0 is called a lift of h0), then we can lift all H to a map H : X × → Y such that pH = H. The homotopy lifting property is used to characterize fibrations.

Famous quotes containing the words lifting and/or property:

    The little lifting helplessness, the queer
    Whimper-whine; whose unridiculous
    Lost softness softly makes a trap for us.
    And makes a curse.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Only the old are innocent. That is what the Victorians understood, and the Christians. Original sin is a property of the young. The old grow beyond corruption very quickly.
    Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
